Quick boxing day tour up the Zoa ridge system, started late at 11am, carpark temp @ 0C°. Pipe line filling in, with some waterbars and sharks still visible, temps warming as we entered dense trees, with bombs starting to drop. Great snow from subalpine up, with around 20-25cm of new snow above a crust on NW aspects. No signs of instability. Dug a quick pit off subpeak with ECTX results.
